CONTEMPORARY BIRD BATH
You Can See the Garden Through It
Solid pedestals block what is behind them. This one frames it. In a small garden that difference matters more than it sounds, because a solid column at 22 inches takes a bite out of every sightline it stands in.
The basin is a thick walled cylinder rather than a shallow dish, and the finish is speckled stone with real aggregate in it. Substantial on top, open underneath.
Two Pieces, One Twist
Every concrete bird bath we carry uses the same twist fit, whatever the shape.
Your Concrete Contemporary Bird Bath Open Loop, up in three steps
-
1
Insert top into bottom
Lift the basin onto the pedestal and drop the collar into the socket. Two people make this easy, one person can manage it.
-
2
Twist to lock
Turn the basin a quarter turn until it seats. No adhesive, no fixings, and it comes apart again the same way.
-
3
Level and fill
Check it sits flat all the way round, then fill to about two inches.
What You Get With This Concrete Contemporary Bird Bath Open Loop
-
01
An open column instead of a solid one.
The teardrop is cut clean through, so what is behind the piece shows through the middle of it. A solid pedestal interrupts a sightline. This one keeps it, which is why it works in a small garden where a heavier shape would close the space down.
-
02
The gap changes with the season.
Spring grass, summer planting, autumn gravel, winter frost. The center of the piece is whatever is behind it, so it never looks quite the same twice.
-
03
A thick walled basin, not a shallow dish.
The bowl has visible depth in its wall, which balances the lightness of the loop below and gives the rim a substantial edge to land on.
-
04
Fill to two inches, not to the brim.
Chickadees stand on the thick rim and sip, robins get right in. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop and nothing more.
Put something worth seeing behind it. Grass, gravel, low planting, a path. The loop is the point and against a solid wall it closes up and the effect is lost. Twenty two inches is a safe height for birds. Leave open ground on the approach and keep cover within a short flight.
